Connect Google Search Console

If you’ve received a SureRank Suggestion: Google Search Console is not connected.

Google Search Console is a free tool from Google that helps you understand how your website performs in search results. It shows important insights such as:

• How many people are finding your site
• What search terms they’re using
• Which pages are getting the most attention

Connecting Search Console to your site does not change anything on the front end. Instead, it gives you a behind-the-scenes view of what’s working. SureRank uses this connection to display these insights directly in your WordPress dashboard.

Why it matters

Without Google Search Console, you’re essentially “flying blind” when it comes to search visibility. Connecting it allows you to:

• See real data about your site’s visibility in Google
• Track clicks, impressions, and search appearance
• Make informed SEO decisions based on accurate insights

Step 1 – Connect to Search Console

• Go to your WordPress dashboard.
• Navigate to SureRank → Search Console
• Click the “Connect to Search Console – It’s Free” Button.

Step 2 – Start seeing insights

• Once connected, SureRank will start showing your site’s search performance data right in the dashboard.
• You can monitor clicks, impressions, and top-performing pages without leaving WordPress.

Step 3 – Re-run Site SEO Analysis

• The warning should disappear. Google Search Console is connected.
